Pak1 pathway hyper-activation mediates resistance to endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors in ER+ breast cancer

104 views | Oct 23 2023

This study demonstrates that p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) plays a crucial role in resistance to estrogen receptor antagonists and CDK4/6 inhibitors in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, suggesting the potential for Pak1 inhibitors as a therapeutic approach for patients with ER+ breast cancer who have become resistant to current treatments.
